The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) is Canada’s largest and strongest union.
Being a CUPE member means you have the support, information, programs, and the staff expertise needed to meet the employer on equal terms and negotiate better working conditions.
Each CUPE Local has the assistance of a CUPE National Representative. Representatives provide assistance with collective bargaining, grievances, health and safety, arbitrations, and other work-related issues. CUPE members also hire staff such as specialists who provide members with expertise in labour law, research, education, communications, job evaluation, human rights, health and safety, and technology.
